What target will England set for India?

[DomainK]

Whatever the case, KP would not make the mistake of underestimating the Indian batting lineup. Punter did that in the first test and India saved the game. Its a tow edged sword- If KP decides to keep enough time in hand to dismiss the famed Indian batsmen, India might just chase it down. Viru for 40 overs and game over. On the other hand, if KP decides to score big, they might not be left with enough time to dismiss all Indian wickets. What do you think will be the target set for India?

[Kshatriyan]

375 + runs will be the target

[fineleg]

400+

[Guest Hiten.]

Their aim will be to bat till the middle of post lunch session. Whatever they can get in that period of time, will be our target.

[punjabi_khota]

We will bowl the ****ers out before they can think of declaring.

[satishg]

420 and give India 4 sessions

[DomainK]

4 sessions will make it very interesting. But given the rate at which England is scoring, it can become a very close match.

[satishg]

hehe wen India resume their chase the pitch will suddenly liven up and start behaving in an unpredictable way :D

[ludhianvi]

Atleast 400, most likely 450 to chase in 3.5 sessions

England will now want to set a target of at least 425, which means they need 100 odd more runs. If England try to play the same way they did before lunch or if India bowls the way they did before lunch, India will have to bat out 3.5 sessions. Obviously this shouldn't be a worrying point but India is carrying Veeru and RD in team one who is really weak in 2nd innings and the latter one is completely clueless.

*sachin_rox mode* Its because of Dhoni only. He is a bad captain, bad wicket keeper and a bad influence. He lost the match.*sachin_rox mode off*

*b_b mode* I deliberately excluded SRT from the equation for this thread to not get hijacked *b_b mode off* :cantstop:

[h4te]

*h4te mode* Eng will set India 829.5 to win. India will be all out for 29.2 *h4te mode off*

[diegovegaz]

nothing less than 400 they will want to completely bat the indians out of the game and i think 90 overs would be enough for them to bowl us out india just can't bat time out

[fineleg]

We will bowl the ****ers out before they can think of declaring.

:cantstop: u keep saying this...last I saw, they still have 7 wickets in hand! When the hell will we bowl them out? :giggle: India better prepare for "saving the Test" by batting sessions out.

[Kohum]

India will have to chase a target of 400+ and must bat out a draw

nandya, they absolutely must do it. this is not a minefield pitch so they dont have any excuses not to.

I am just amazed at your lack of cricketing knowledge and the fact that you have 9000+ posts on a cricket website. Even a lundfakeer like Swann is making the ball turn on the pitch......it's going to be a big achievement if India do bat out the day. When was the last time any team managed to bat out 120 overs on a turner in India in the last innings?
